IMPROVEMENT IN LUBRICATORS FOR JOURNALS.

To ALL WHoM IT MAY ooNcERn:

Be it known that I, Monms SELLERS, of K eokuk, in the county of Lee, andState of Io\va,thav e invented' an Improvement in Lubricating Oil-Guns;anti I `do hereby (leelare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference being had to the attached (lrawings,`

making a part of this specification, of whichf Figure 1 is an elevationpartially insection.

t Figure 2 is a plan-- i 4 4 t Similar letters in each referring tosimilar parts.

The objectvtof my invention is to so arrange the parts of a lubrieatingoil-cup that the flow'oftoil may be. regulated, nnd the feed-hole oropeningthrough which the cup is replcnishefl so mad-e as to be reatlilyopene t and closed. t

The nature' of my invention consists in arrangng a. fine-tureadedscrew-plug to regulate the floti' of oil, and in screwing ou a capwhich, when partially'unscrewed, brings two holes opposite, butwhentscrewe down tight covers the lower' hole, thus closing the Icup. oi

In order that my invention may be fully understood in reference to itsmode of operation, I will now procee to explain it in cletail. t

Fig. 1 is thc cup, with Chamber B filled with oil through hol es'a, a,and dischargerl on the parts through feed-hole C, 'which discharge isregulated by concal plug D fitting into conical seat in C, and passingthrough o outer cover E, and screwing through inner cover F, by whichmeans it is raised or lowered, to contract oi' enlarge the openingin C,thereby allowing a greater or less flow of oil on the parts to belubricate, and from its application and position being always easy of4access to the operater, and best adapted for, the uses and purfposes asspecified. Fig. 2 is' the plan of revolving capiorcover E, which isscrewed down on inner cover F hy means of screw-thread G, bywvh'i'chmeans a tight ,joint'is efected and the oil not allowed to be thrown outhy'` f the motion of the machinery to which it is attache, while fromits construction it can bo easily opened by unscrewing until it isarrcste by set-screw H, which, working in a groove, will not allow thecover t'o be turned back but a certain distance, when the holes a d willbe opposite, and the cup open. a

l I-know that holes have been opened and closetl by slicling orrevolving covers and fcedsi'cgulated by conical plugs; but..

What I claim to be new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The conical plug D, in combination with the screxv-closing cup E,suhstnntially asescrihed, and for the` purposes specfied.
